10 CSS Snippets for Creating a Material Design UI

We touched on Material Design a few months ago (Material Design GUI kits, you should check them out!) just as Google’s innovative visual language began building up a head of steam. Since then, we’ve seen many, many sites and apps that have incorporated the visual language successfully. This is going to be the year of Material Design, and we love it

Just in case you haven’t jumped on the Material Design bandwagon or aren’t fully convinced of its merits as yet, we’ve collected a small collection of HTML and CSS examples from Codepen that will surely convince you. Here they are:
